Villa boss Sherwood praises Pochettino for backing Spurs kids

Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood has praised Mauricio Pochettino for backing Tottenham's youngsters.

Sherwood believes the Argentinian is doing a good job with the young talent he has inherited.

He said: "There are a lot of big stars and he could have discarded Ryan Mason and gone with Nabil Bentaleb. He's not done that - so fair play to him.

"I respect him for that. It's good for me. I left a bit of a legacy there with those young players and he's carried it on."
